Leading run scorers in world cup

Stage is all set for the Ireland cricket team to make a mark in the world cricket. The team made a perfect start of the world cup by beating West Indies cricket team by 4 wickets. So far Ireland is the only team in world cup 2015 to chase a 300+ target successfully. Now they are playing against UAE and are in control of the game as they have already got 4 wicket bowling first. Current scorebard as you can see above says United Arab Emirates 106 for loss of 4 wickets in 28 overs. Now if they can restrict the UAE team to somewhere around 250 to 280, then the Ireland team has a chance to earn 2 more points and this means they will move to the top of points table below the defending champions India.

If Ireland wins today they can dream of qualifying for the quarter finals for the first time. After today's game Ireland will left with another 4 matches to play in the world cup and they need to win a minimum of 2 matches to qualify for the quarter finals. Here is the details of world cup matches for Ireland:

Ireland v United Arab Emirates at Brisbane - Feb 25, 2015 - Match being played today - Current score at the live scoreboard widget at top of the blog

Ireland v South Africa at Canberra - Mar 3, 2015

Ireland v Zimbabwe at Hobart - Mar 7, 2015

India v Ireland at Hamilton - Mar 10, 2015

Ireland v Pakistan at Adelaide - Mar 15, 2015

If Ireland manage to beat Zimbabwe, then the last match for the team which is also the last match of the group stage can be a virtual knock out game for them. The match against Pakistan if they manage to win it, definitely the team will qualify for the quarter finals.

Lets first hope that Ireland win the world cup match today. Good luck to the team for today and remaining of the world cup matches.

In the beginning it felt like West Indies team will upset the fans once again. West Indies lost the first wicket early and then is was a slow start of the innings. However the moment Chris Gayle hit the first six of the innings I knew quiet a few records will be broken in the match. I was also predicting first double century of the world cup. Here are some of the tweets I made while watchign the live score board at this blog.

Once he was set, the scoring rate increased at a rapid rate. In the end Gayle was out at the last ball on the innings but it was too late for the Zimbabwe. Now its pretty much clear that West Indies have won this match. All we have to watch now is how close they get to the target and if they are able to play all the 50 overs.

New Zealand beat England very easily today and not with three consecutive victories in the group stage of ICC Cricket World Cup means the Kiwi team is now one step more closer to the world cup. With 6 points the team is at the top of points table at the moment and now New Zealand team place for the quarter finals of the world cup is almost assured.

England cricket team was outplayed today and they were never in the game right from the beginning. First the whole team was all out at a score of just 123 runs batting mere 33.2 overs in all. In return the New Zealand openers made a quick start and Brendon McCullum break his own record of fastest half century in world cup. However what marked the start of win for Kiwis was a furious spell from Tim Southee. His bowling figures says 7 for 33 in nine overs. Its the best spell of the 2015 world cup so far and I'm sure it will remain the best spell of this tournaments. Overall is was 3rd best spell in world cup history.

Bangladesh has won the toss and elected to bat first. You can watch the live score update real time at the top of this this blog. Bangladesh team has made a slow start and currently they have managed a run rate of 2.92 without losing any wicket. Such a slow start might not be good as if the team loose some quick wickets, then Afghanistan team can make a very great start of the tournament. This team has a lot to prove. Bangladesh team on the other hand despite being the potential have yet to make a mark in ODIs.

Now lets discuss the third match of the world cup, it will be played between South Africa and Zimbabwe. South Africa are being counted as the number one choice for the title this time and Zimbabwe on the other hand is looking weaker team just like the ICC associate nations. We predict South Africa will win this match easily, however as they say nothing can be said until last ball of the match is bowled. So lets keep a close eye at the match which is going to begin in next few minutes.

Indian and Pakistan cricket teams will play their first match for the ICC cricket world cup today. First match of the world cup against an old rival is gonna be high pressure match for both the teams. For the cricket fans all over the world this could be the most exciting match of the world cup at the group stage and overall most exciting match of the tournament second to the finals.

Both the teams have a long history of matches and series that were to heated and high pressure games, however when if comes to world cup Indian cricket team has a very consistence record against the neighbors. So far both teams have played 5 matches in the world cup history and India have won all of them. Last world cup match played between the two teams was the semi final match of 2011 world cup at PCA stadium Mohali. India won that match and they defeated Sri Lanka in the finals later.

However this time its not going to be an easy task for India, most the team members and young and inexperienced. They might not be able to handle the pressure of playing at the high level matches of the world cup. Most of the fans and the critics have already given upon the hopes of India defending the world cup title. First couple of games will be sufficient to decide the fate of Indian cricket team for the world cup.

Match Update: 1:17 pm IST: England innings start now with Moeen Ali and Ian Bell as openers. They need to chase a huge score of 342 (343 to win) and a lot will depend upon these two batsmen how close England team can reach to the target or even chase it. So fat the plus point for England were a five for and hat-trick by Steven Finn. But his performance was not that good to restrict the explosive Aussie batting line. You can watch the live score of the match at the top of this blog. Enjoy!

The opening match for the ICC world cup 2015 just being played between Sri Lanka and New Zealand just few hours back and it features two teams that are perfect for a nice encounter. A perfect opening match for the world cup, fill with lots of excitement. With the match the tournament is open and the second match to be played today is between Australia and England. Match starts in just few moments from now. Both these teams already have enough preparation in the Carlton Mid Tri ODI series, that included India as the third team. Players of both the team are in fine touch and we hope to see both the team through the knock out stage of cricket world cup 2015.

Stay tuned here and we'll publish the toss and score updates from this match.

Match Update: 10:57 am IST: The opening match is almost near a finish and New Zealand is going to win the match against Sri Laka. As far as the second match of the world cup in concerned I think this is going to be more exciting match as compared to the earlier one. Both Australian and England have recently played in the final of the ODI tri series and team are in good form.

Today morning England won the toss and elected to field. Australia has made a slow but a solid start of the innings and have scored 152 runs in 26 over for the loss of 3 wickets. Warner, Watson and Smith lost their wickets early but opener Finch and Baily have done a good job by building the innings. Finch in on his way to score first century of ICC world cup 2015. With Maxwell and Marsh in the line up Australia can think of posting a 300+ target for England team.

England team bowlers on the other hand are looking in good rhythm and a quick wickets means they are in good business for the first match of the world cup against they host. Keep a close eye on the score board above.

Bangladesh cricket team has developed a lot, the team performance has improved but they are yet to prove something to the fans and the world. This nation has yet to win any major ICC event or event made it to final or semi finals. It was only in the 2007 world cup that they defeated India in group stage to reach super eights and then defeat South Africa.

However after that the team is still to show the cricketing skills the team is capable off. Lets take a look at the Bangladesh cricket team for the world cup. It seems they have a quiet good number of ODI specialists in the team. Selectors seems to have done a nice job by picking a balanced team for the 2015 world cup that stars in less than 10 days from today.

Here is the list of the Bangladesh squad for the world cup:

Mashrafe Mortaza

Al-Amin Hossain

Anamul Haque

Arafat Sunny

Mahmudullah

Mominul Haque

Mushfiqur Rahim

Nasir Hossain

Rubel Hossain

Sabbir Rahman

Shakib Al Hasan

Soumya Sarkar

Taijul Islam

Tamim Iqbal

Taskin Ahmed

Bangladesh cricket team is one of the team that consists of young players in the squad. Only one player (Mashrafe Mortaza ) is above 30 year and his age is also 31 years. So its quiet a young team.

Most of the teams performance and success in world cup will depend upon the performance of players like Shakib Al Hasan who is one of the most experienced player who also possess experience playing in various T20 franchise and that experience might help him at the world cup stage. Batting will depend mainly on the openers and top order which inlcudes Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rehman. However the dilemma is that no Bangladesh batsmen have scored a century at world cup so far.
